My computer access is down except for LJ and the dream site. I wonder what is unplugged?Returning
I've been accessing my posts from prior years frequently, and realize the LJ is pretty important to me, so I should manually archive posts hitting the ten year mark.I should also write in it. Most points of view or dreams I've posted in other dream communities/activities are lost to me over the past few years as they weren't also included on my own computer or journal.
Today, while looking for dreams that involved movie stars, I was wandering around my posts in 2002 and 2003, and found that I was sick with the same thing that has been ailing me for the past month and a half, and it hurt as bad then as it does now...just costochondritis, nothing that'll kill a person. The doc had said I keep coming in for the same thing and all I should do is take ibuprofin. It's funny I didn't recall it, but it's written in my journal.
I've no dreams for a long time. I wondered if pain limited dreaming, but from my own journal, I didn't have that problem before.
Dreams 4/17/11
Dream 4/1711Many dreams last night, but I only remember two.
Robbery –In the dream I was seated in a small alcove next to the back sliding doors of the home. A tall person, at least in his 40’s, 5’11, and 300 lbs slipped in the door. He was carrying an ivory club. I stood up, and was afraid that he would hit me over the head and kill me.
He didn’t say anything, but looked towards the front door and spied a package with a stripe, although now I can’t remember if the stripe was purple or green. Then, instead of confronting me he walked back out the back door. When I looked out, I could see 5 other thieves, but he waved them off to leave.
After they left the neighborhood, I walked outside. The house was situated on a hill. Two wild horses ran up the hill.
When I went began to awake, I thought I’d just returned to bed, and was so unhappy about being robbed, wondering what was in the package by the door. It took several minutes to consider that none of it was real. The house was a combination of floor plans and locations from several states and times, yet everything, except the likelihood of horses running up a hill in the middle of town, seemed so real.
A second dream was also frightening, and I recounted both the first and second to myself in a waking moment, to try to peg it to memory, but then forgot the second one by morning.
They bothered me because it seemed all the dreams lately are unpleasant.
In the last dream, though, there was nothing that I remember unpleasant. It was a consumption dream. I went to some store, and bought an important computer hardware which had a small old-tyme puppet show as a peripheral, to be used for storytelling.
tsunamis
Tsunami dreams –The state has been studying previous tsunamis in this area, and have been holding drills and community meetings to change previous understanding of what could be done to survive a rupture of the Cascadia fault. Previously, the expectations of a 8 to 9 + earthquake and tsunami were that they occur here every 500-700 years. This was gleaned from samples of soil and tree destruction. For some reason now, the concern is that they occur more often, maybe every 240 years, the last occuring in 1700, which would make the quake past-due. The latest report indicates that few people in the populated beach areas would find accessible routes to escape, so they are considering berms and towers to climb. In our section of the bay, the safe zones are now being reconsidered. Certain gathering areas that appear to be high enough above sea level are now suspected to be prone to collapse in the liquefaction that occurs in a strong quake. The bridges would fail. I don’t know how a person would leave the area, without bridges. There is access to high ground even if on foot. There's more time to escape. Perhaps there should be thought to supplies storage in gathering areas.
I don’t recall dreaming of water. I’ve been chased by bears and there is only one chance to escape, if I make the leap to a particular cavern. I have to make the leap, or I will not survive. In the dream, I keep practicing making the leap, and have been successful. The bear of course, wants to kill me, but it is beautiful, its fur glistens with light from the sun, golden and white. It reminds me of the monkeys in the road from a previous dream. They were also of the same sparkling colors. Are they dreams about the earth? It seems to me that the monkey dream is about the earth shifting.
Other folks in town that I know say they have dreamt directly about a tsunami here. One found the wave full of sharks that chased her as she tried to escape. Another went back to retrieve her pets. They had detachable heads, so she placed the heads in a dresser at home above where the water should hit, but when she returned, they had drowned.
I don’t know what the bears are for me. They could mean Medicine Wheel, yet for me I think they represent the power of nature to be respected.
